Question On Voc Rehab Stipend

[Cm Burns]

I wanted to ask a question, I'm going to try and go back to school and taking 8 credits. I am using voc rehab but what I don't understand is with me taking 8 credits will my stipend be for all 8 or just six credits. Please advise.

Thnx

I'm not sure but I believe it'll be for 6 credits (half-time). I think you need 9 credits for 3/4 time. jmo

Dont hesitate to ask thew school for an accommodation if needed,for your service connected disability.

They gave my husband 2 accommodations at Corning College under Voc Rehab.

His VA counselor at CCC was a GW veteran and she seemed to make everything go smoothly for him.

You should get a chit slip for your books.

If you are going back to school on line ,that format is a little different .

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I am a Chapter 35er, similar to Chapter 31 in some ways. (DEA for survivors)

Half of my degree was at a traditional campus years ago and the rest was all done on line.(2003-2007) so I am a college returnee myself

In both cases, I had to be firm on my time constraints with others and had to make sure I did the homework in a quiet place.

I am a little confused at the 8 credits as most are 3 credits per course.
